Likely upcoming political gaffes so you can be outraged ahead of time

The past few weeks seems to have featured gaffe after gaffe from our political leaders and headline after headline covering them from the media. Rather than dwelling on the past SBS Comedy looks ahead to report the headlines we could easily be seeing in our papers in the near future...

Australian Politics is caught in a vicious gaffe cycle. Over the last few weeks we’ve heard that the poor don’t drive cars, Chinese people are mongrels, abortions lead to breast cancer and that Australia is open for business. All embarrassingly incorrect. In such a wild and unpredictable environment it’s hard to know what the next bizarre gaffe is going to be.

That’s where we come in. We’ve compiled a list of possible future headlines so you can beat the rush and be outraged now. While we can’t guarantee that everything in this list will happen, you can’t guarantee none of them will.

Whether all or just some of these will come true is still to be seen. The only thing we know for certain is there will definitely be just enough of these silly little gaffes to ensure we will never have to focus on the important issues even for a second. What a relief!
